>> oh, my worst week unfortunately is for the pentagon. they not only saw chuck hagel filibustered by the senate, they also have this sequester coming up. half i want to say half a trillion dollars worth of cuts coming from the pentagon and they are in no way able to absorb that. they've already made lots and lots of cuts. i think congress is asking them to fight a war and not giving them the resources they need to do it. on the plus side my winner is poland springs, they got the best product placement of all-time, thanks to marco rubio so he didn't have a great night but i think poland springs had a great night. >> you have a point. susan, yours? >> the best week the no labels group because mostly they were able to get 40 people, democrats and republicans in congress to agree to fixing a problem, not fighting, and that's an accomplishment these days, just to even be able to get someone to wear the same pin. the worst week was the u.s. senate. i think that what we saw with the confirmation hearing and a lot of things it showed it's no long
